Is Uptown Funk Ripped Off?

Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson have been accused of plagiarism. Serbian singer Viktorija – whose real name is Snezana Miskovic – says Uptown Funk is a rip off of her 1984 single Ulice Mracne Nisu Za Devojke, or in English, Dark Streets Are Not For Girls.

Here’s “Dark Streets Are Not For Girls”.

And here’s Uptown Funk

The 56-year-old Serbian singer told The Daily Star, “Their song Uptown Funk contains 80 percent of my tracks. How much of it are you allowed to take as inspiration for your song?I’m in no hurry to sue them, these processes take a long time, and my life and career does not depend on lawsuits.

For these lawsuits, there should be a lot of money, the lawyers are working on a percentage.

If I still decide to sue them and I win, I have to figure out what to do with that money.”

And if you want a bit more help to see if you hear it or not, here’s the two songs played at the same time
